THE STONE ROSES self-titled debut album has topped a poll for the best
British album of all time - beating out competition from a hoard of legendary
bands including THE Beatles, The Clash and THE Rolling Stones.

The classic 1989 album was named number one in the poll by British
newspaper THE OBSERVER, after being voted for by 100 critics and musicians,
including Ozzy Osbourne, former SPICE GIRL Emma Bunton and CLASH guitarist MICK
JONES.

But inspite of the accolade, Stone Roses frontman IAN BROWN still thinks
the album should have been even better.

He says, "None of us thought the bass and drums were heavy enough, and I
still think that."
